Looking at the TW timetable there appear to be a couple of extra services, but I wonder does the new service risk being swamped by festival goers. I'm guessing a 153 could be seriously inadequate? Has this been considered?

I've noticed a couple that have had their times moved a bit, but nothing extra (looked at Melksham calls on Real time Trains). Very likely to be extra trains running through which is why the changes will be there. To my knowledge, no plans to strengthen, but then I've not seen any "get to Glastonbury via the TransWilts" suggestions.
